Optimization has been used for many years during product design to help determine the values of design variables, x, that minimize (or maximize) one or more objectives, f(x), while satisfying a set of constraints, {g(x), h(x)}, and the design variable lower and upper bounds, x1 and xu, respectively. The typical notation for formulating the optimization problem is as follows: 1
